  • Delivers helper in loss
    Rodrigues supplied an assist in Game 4 on Saturday, albeit in a 6-3 road loss.

    Advice: Rodrigues had three assists in four road games versus the Bolts in the regular season, but the Panthers were overwhelmed by the Lightning this time around as that team had been facing a possible first-round series sweep. Rodrigues just capped off his second straight season with 39 points, starting in 2022-23 as a member of the Avalanche. A third-line role limits his fantasy prospects, though he continues to work on the man advantage in the playoffs. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Registers helper
    Dadonov notched an assist and blocked three shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 3.

    Advice: Dadonov earned his first point in four games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The winger has mainly played in a bottom-six role, though he was promoted to the third line due to the absences of Mason Marchment (undisclosed) and Radek Faksa (undisclosed). Dadonov produced 23 points in 51 regular-season outings, so he may be able to add a little depth scoring. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:49 pm
     
  • Contributes helper in overtime win
    Seguin produced an assist, four shots on goal and three hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 3.

    Advice: Seguin set up Miro Heiskanen's second-period tally. Between injuries and poor play, a lineup shuffle was required for this game, which saw Seguin join Joe Pavelski and Evgenii Dadonov on the third line. The helper snapped a five-game slump for Seguin, who battled a lingering lower-body injury late in the season that he's likely still managing in the playoffs. The 32-year-old recorded 52 points and 154 shots on net over 68 regular-season appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:48 pm
     
  • Scores twice in overtime win
    Johnston scored two goals on eight shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 3.

    Advice: Johnston opened the scoring in the first period with a backhand tally, then went top shelf at 16:23 of overtime to finish off the Stars' first win of the first-round series. The 20-year-old led the Stars' onslaught with eight shots, double the amount he put up in the first two games of the series. He was moved to the top line Saturday, and given the result, he may stay there moving forward. Johnston has three points, 12 shots, four hits and three blocked shots in the postseason.

  • Scores lone goal in loss
    Marner scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 4.

    Advice: Marner snapped a five-game goal drought with his third-period tally, but the Maple Leafs couldn't make a rally out of it. He's picked up just two points with seven shots on net, six hits and a plus-1 rating over four playoff contests, which is not enough production from one of the team's core players. Marner remains in a top-six role, but Toronto will need more out of him to keep its season alive beyond Tuesday's Game 5. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:48 pm
     
  • Tallies in Saturday's win
    Pastrnak scored a goal on four shots, levied three hits and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4.

    Advice: Pastrnak has two goals and two assists through four outings in the first round. His tally Saturday was a back-breaker for Toronto, as it came with 42 seconds left in the second period to put Boston up 3-0. Pastrnak continues to see his usual top-six minutes with ample power-play time as a leader on offense for the Bruins. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:21 pm
     
  • Expected to play Saturday
    Nylander (undisclosed) is likely to play in Saturday's Game 4 against the Bruins, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

    Advice: Nylander's return should provide Toronto's lineup with a major boost as they try to even the series in Game 4. The 27-year-old winger missed the first three games of Toronto's first-round playoff matchup after posting a career-high 98 points (40 goals, 58 assists) in 82 regular-season contests.

  • Two PP points in Game 3 win
    Miller produced a goal and an assist, both on the power play, during Friday's 2-1 win over the Predators in Game 3.

    Advice: The 31-year-old center opened the scoring midway through the first period by snapping a shot past Juuse Saros from above the faceoff circle, and Miller then helped set up Brock Boeser for the winner early in the second frame. Miller has a goal and three points through three postseason games, and he'll try to keep rolling in Game 4 on Sunday as the Canucks try to take a 3-1 series lead.

  • Generates helper
    Byfield provided an assist and added two PIM in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Byfield has four helpers and a plus-5 rating over three playoff contests. The 21-year-old is seeing steady top-six minutes, though this was the first time in three games he started on the top line. Byfield can offer offense with a little physicality, but it remains to be seen if reuniting him with Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe will be the adjustment the Kings need to keep pace in this first-round series.
